Sculptures & Performing Arts
Dance sculptures are a playground for the association of my work with the practice of movement. I look for enlargement, transformation or metamorphose of bodies and for the erasure of boundaries between humans and non-humans.
ORSA BRUNA & LA GRANDE OURSE
Echoing the traditional Bear Festival which is still practiced in the Pyrenees to celebrate the arrival of spring Orsa Bruna becomes a feminist figure. A giant bear who stares at us, mistress of the place, she invites us into her lair, plays with us, a captivating dominatrix, both erotic and mischievous, to the music of Donna Summer.
Exhibitions at the Carreau du Temple during the Everybody festival (February 2022) and at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature during La Fête de l’Ours (March 2022).
